Daily SPF is non-negotiable, especially for Fitzpatrick Skin Types 4–6
Why this matters:
Darker skin tones do have more natural melanin protection, but that does not make us immune to:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Post-inflammatory dark marks
- Uneven tone
- Premature aging
UV exposure is one of the top triggers for stubborn discoloration — even without burning.
“But I’m not going outside…” 👀 Let’s clear this up.
Even indoors, your skin is exposed to:
- UVA rays that pass through windows
- Blue light (HEV) from phones, TVs, tablets, and computer screens
- Ring lights & studio lighting (especially for content creators, estheticians, and anyone on camera)
These can contribute to:
- Worsening hyperpigmentation
- Skin dullness
- Accelerated aging over time
So yes — indoor days still count.
✨ SPF Spotlight: Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen
One of my personal favorites, especially for deeper skin tones:
- Truly invisible finish (no white cast)
- Weightless, primer-like texture
- Broad-spectrum SPF 40
- Layers well under makeup or alone
- Great for oily, combo, and acne-prone skin
Perfect for people who “hate sunscreen” but still want real protection.
⭐ TAKEAWAY HIGHLIGHT:
If your skin can see light — it needs SPF.
Windows, screens, and ring lights all count.
Protection is how you keep your glow, not just get it.
Skin EDU Reminder 🧠✨
SPF isn’t seasonal. It’s foundational.
Drop a ☀️ if sunscreen is already part of your daily routine
or comment “SPF” if you want more education + product breakdowns like this.
Education over gatekeeping. Always.
